  "account": "Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White has led the team to the playoffs in each of her two seasons since returning to the franchise. Despite the absence of star guard Caitlin Clark, White guided Indiana to a Game 5 victory in last year's 2025 WNBA semifinals and a Game 3 win in this year's first round. However, the team was defeated in both playoff series. White boasts a 52-36 record with Indiana in the past two regular seasons. The most likely scenario is that White will return for a third season with the Fever, as a parting of ways would be quite surprising. The team's biggest free agents are guards Kelsey Mitchell and Sophie Cunningham.",
